NAS advice

To my mind it makes total sense to have two drives, but no sense at all to put them in the same enclosure. There are a number of things that can go wrong with a 2-bay NAS running RAID that will deny you access to your music for some time.
I run a 1-bay NAS and back it up automatically to another 1-bay NAS and run a UPnP server on each. If the first NAS explodes, it would take me all of 5 seconds to navigate to the other one in the Naim app and continue playing the same music.
I can then repair the damaged drive, enclosure, power supply, or whatever it is at my leisure whth some soothing tunes to numb the pain.
